Lake Hill Parent Advisory Council (“the PAC”)

The Lake Hill Elementary Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a group of parent volunteers committed to supporting both the educational and recreational needs of our school. We also help foster open communication between families and school staff.

Throughout the year, the PAC organizes events that build school community spirit and raise funds for important extras not covered by the school budget. These include support for field trips, visits from Science Ventures, library enhancements, new playground equipment, and more.

What Does the PAC Do?

Encourages communication between parents and school staff
Brings families together through fun and inclusive events
Fundraises for valuable school resources and experiences
